for each of the four cars that i have driven primarily, i have doubled the
power to weight ratio:
2800/60 = 46 lbs/ hp - 76 chevette 0-60 in 18 seconds
3100/95 = 33 lbs/ hp - 80 celica 0-60 in 12 seconds
2800/166 = 17 lbs/hp - 94 probe 0-60 in 7.2 seconds
2100/250 = 8.4 lbs/ hp - cobra 0-60 in 4.8 seconds
each of them seemed fast at the time :)
i thought this was the end of road, but then i drove borden's car:
2050/500 = 4.1 lbs/ hp 0-60 ?! close your teeth before depressing gas switch
